Abstract:

For the last decade many spaces of museums have meet new demands; the spaces are getting less specific to the art it is displaying as the need of flexibility, total control or alteration of light e.g. has increased due to various reasons. For many art forms those conditions can be beneficial. But how one perceive the three-dimensional art of sculpture is something different, than two dimen-sional art such as painting, and there for the demands on the architectural spaces and its qualities are different. A museum exclusively for the art of sculpture does not exist in Stockholm, without it being

Abstract:

What do we really understand about museum architecture? How are museums made through design, but also through use? What are the motivations of those involved in museum projects and how is the physical stuff of museums implicated in the creation of professional identities and social relationships? Recent decades have witnessed an international explosion of museum building, expansion and renovation and the development of a sub-discipline in museum studies as museum professionals and academics have sought to understand the myriad issues involved in capital development. Despite the number of texts

Abstract:

In the 19th century, the museum archetype was based on an architecture of classical lines and a palace image. The current trend of new museums buildings is characterized by its typological vagueness and the lack of an archetype. Despite this loss of identity, the current museum does not give up being identified as such, and chooses to use movable architecture in order to transmit all those values and information it considers appropriate.<br>Durant el segle XIX l’arquetip del museu es fonamentava sobre una arquitectura de línies clàssiques i d’imatge palauenca.

Abstract:

Architecture exists through human experience. As the product of the relationship between a building and a person, architecture gains meaning when it is viewed and contemplated by an individual moving throughout a building. Architecture simultaneously engages the body and mind of one who experiences it, and its intentions become visible through a continuous weaving of motion through situations that constitute a place. My thesis examines the interplay between architecture and human action. Manifest in the following thesis are explorations of the institution of the museum. From its earliest

Throughout the evolution of man, the ocean has played an integral part in his survival. As technology has advanced so has man's use of the ocean. In order to preserve the history of these advancements for future generations, museums have been erected. The Carolina Coastal Museum is dedicated to the nautical history of the Carolinas. The project is fueled by the theories and philosophies of zoomorphism and anthropomorphism. The building is based upon the skeletal structure of a fish, the main element being the spine.

The origins of this project lie in a desire to understand the relationship that exists between light and architecture.

From their siting to their plan, to the nature of their openings, our buildings have to a great extent been shaped by the sun and the moon.

In 2017 Finland celebrated its 100 years of independence.

I have chosen a location in Turku Harbour across the street from Turku Castle, a fortress that has been on the site since 13th century. Today the Castle functions as a museum and is the city’s most popular museum with about 140 000 visitors annually. On the south end of the site there are four log w

Because it is chiefly a "place of meeting" of architecture with the other forms of art, the museum participates necessarily in the elaboration of an architecture that goes beyond the usual concern for "habitable" space--a functionalism derived from western civilization's pragmatism. The concept of the museum has provoked profound changes in the cultural significance of what it represents. The museum reflects a culture of "pluralism," of different world views as well as an intention to represent the world through a categorization of the "fragment." Hence it brings forth the contradictions inher

In museums, we consistently interact with museum maps to learn what exhibits can be expected and how to move around, and they work as an integral part of the museum experience. However, museum studies say nothing about museum maps, but rather they have focused on characterising museum experiences in terms of the interactive relationship between pedagogic forms of knowledge and configurational properties of spatial layouts. They hardly explain any role of maps in understanding visitors’ movement behaviours. Therefore, this research aims to answer the following questions: do museum maps relate t
